' r Sun- , Hie accident occurred as the truck going West came to the East approach of the bridge. The right edge of the tractor blade hit the first upright on the bridge. The impact moved the tractor out of position and off the truck bed. The timing was perfect for the disaster. Just as the car passed the tractor, dropped onto it, pinning ONeil under its tremendous weight and killing him instantly. It was sometime before the tractor was raised and O'Neils body removed. Perhaps as long as an hour. During this time traffic was approaching from the East and the West. A long line of trucks, trailers, cars, buses and other types of vehicles that travel the Aiheri can highways were parked along the road. To the consternation of all, after the truck with tractor and the car was removed from the bridge the opinion of Sheriff Pas-si- c and others was that the bridge was no longer safe for traffic. A blade began to clear a detour on either side of- the bridge. These detours were completed and traf- fic began moving in each direction about 2 p.m. 7 Carbon County Sheriff Passic, his deputies and the Utah Highway Patrol did an excellent job in this most difficult situation. Those assisting Sheriff Passic were deputy Charles Sempk&n Jr., deputy Frank World, deputy Keith Hansen and deputy Jay Fowler. Sergeant Nick Thomas and trooper Don Christensen of the Highway Patrol were also there during the strenuous six hours. ;::X.X.XXX S X vice-chairma- n, chers, Price and Helper Chess dubs. t , y. s ? .v. , .v.v.v.v y X x ; Near Perfect Gape For the second time since the Sunny Bowl opened its doors eight years ago, someone has come up with a perfect dream game of 300.
